Recipe: Beefy Black Bean Chili

*Chili has 7 points per 1.5 cup serving, but it’s very filling. I make a small salad with it and I’m good to go.

From the WW Simply Delicious cookbook

*2 teaspoons olive oil
*1 onion, finely chopped
*2 garlic cloves, minced
*1 tablespoon chili powder
*1 teaspoon ground cumin
*1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
*1 pound lean ground beef (10% or less fat)
*2 (14oz.) cans stewed tomatoes
*1 (19oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
*1 (14.5oz) can of no salt added corn kernels, drained
*1 large ripe tomato, chopped
*1/4 ripe avocado, finely chopped
*32 baked tortilla chips

1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the onion. Saute until softened, 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Saute, stirring constantly, 1 minute longer. Add the beef and brown, breaking apart with a spoon, about 5 minutes.

2. Stir in stewed tomatoes, beans, and corn. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended, about 20 minutes. Serve with tomato, avocado, and tortilla chips.
